San Telmo market, 19th century covered market in San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
San Telmo market is a covered marketplace in Buenos Aires that spans an entire city block under metal-supported ceilings. Inside, numerous stalls sell fresh food, antiques, and handcrafted items to shoppers moving through the aisles.
The market opened in 1897 to serve European immigrants settling in Buenos Aires. It features Italianate architectural details that were popular during that period.
The market draws visitors searching for handmade goods and regional products offered by local craftspeople who work here. The stalls reflect tastes and shopping habits that Buenos Aires residents have developed over generations.
The building is open daily and best visited in early morning when the stalls first open and crowds are lighter. Weekend hours tend to be longer, so visiting on either day offers different shopping experiences.
Inside sits Coffee Town, a traditional coffee stand that roasts beans on-site and serves them in vintage porcelain cups. This artisanal touch makes the spot worth seeking out for those who value old-world coffee craftsmanship.
